IPFilter

[uTuser2k14]

Hi.

 

I'm wondering if there any other sites out there that provide an updated ipfilter.dat for use in uTorrent? The one that was maintained by TBG (@iBlockList) has been offline for roughly 2 months now and the last ipfilter.dat provided by them was last updated in October, 2014.

 

If not, wish it could be nice to import a p2p blocklist (in .gz format) and use that instead, much like how Deluge does with their blocklist plugin. The level1 filter there is pretty much updated every single day.

Given the reliability of those lists is somewhere between "dodgy" and "useless", we don't recommend using them and don't provide recommendations on lists to use.

So if that's the case and stance of BitTorrent, Inc., then why even bother have the option to use one?

Because people use them for other reasons including building their own lists from discovered genuinely bad players.

I see. Well is there any guides on doing that? Creating your own ipfilter.dat and how to discover "genuine" bad players?
